Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for determining the velocity of an elongate textile material, in particular a textile yarn, traveling in longitudinally in its lengthwise dimension, wherein two sensors disposed at a predetermined spacing along the direction of traveling movement of the textile yarn produce measured sensor signals which are evaluated using a transit time correlator having a control loop circuit adjusted to a model delay time which corresponds to the actual transit time of a yarn section over the distance and the traveling velocity is calculated by a dividing element connected to the control loop circuit of the transit time correlator for determining a quotient, representing yarn velocity, from the distance and the model delay time.
  • a widely used method to determine the yarn length on such bobbin winding machines is to count the revolutions of the bobbin or of the drive roller for the bobbin and to determine the wound-on amount of yarn using calculations based on the circumference of the bobbin or of the drive roller for the bobbin. Since the circumference of the drive roller is constant, the determination of the circumferential velocity poses no problems. Nevertheless, the slippage which typically occurs between the drive roller and the bobbin can be a considerable source of errors.
  • the resultant calculated velocity or yarn length value may be greatly distorted since, to avoid so-called "pattern winding," a slippage between the drive roller and the bobbin is intentionally generated during the entire bobbin travel or at least in so-called pattern zones in which the bobbin diameter and the diameter of the drive roller have a defined relationship to each other.
  • a number of methods are known for determining the yarn velocity by contact with the yarn. Such a method increases the yarn tension and is unsuitable for higher re-spooling velocities because of the inertia of the element which is moved along with the yarn.
  • a device for determining the velocity of an elongate textile material, in particular a textile yarn, traveling longitudinally in its lengthwise dimension wherein two sensors are disposed at a predetermined distance along the direction of traveling movement of the textile yarn which produce measured sensor signals which are evaluated using a transit time correlator having a control loop circuit adjusted to a model delay time which corresponds to an actual transit time of a yarn segment over the predetermined distance, and that the velocity is calculated by a dividing circuit element connected to the control loop circuit of the transit time correlator, for obtaining a quotient from the predetermined distance and the model delay time.
  • the velocity determination device includes at least one first sensor g 1 including at least two signal receivers (1,2; 5,6; 9,10; 17,18; 25,26,27,28) disposed in sequence along the travel direction of the yarn, the first sensor g 1 having a sensor output characteristic curve which intersects the abscissa, indicating a zero instantaneous output value, on the effective sensor center axis, and wherein said output characteristic curve shows a point-symmetrical behavior at least in the vicinity of the intersection with the abscissa.
  • the present invention includes a second sensor g 2 having a steady state output characteristic curve waveform in the area of its effective sensor center axis, and a control loop circuit for the transit time correlator that includes means for using an undifferentiated cross-correlation function as the controller input signal for determining and readjusting an adjustment point for the model delay time ⁇ .
  • a differentiation of the cross-correlation function is no longer required with the present invention.
  • a point-symmetrical (at least in the vicinity of the adjustment point) function is employed for determining the adjustment point which utilizes the main advantage of the closed loop correlation over the open loop correlation.
  • the adjustment point which results with a time displacement over a model delay time ⁇ , which corresponds to the actual transit time T of a yarn section over the distance L between two sensors, is located on the intersection of the cross-correlation function with the abscissa, in other words, the minimum value of the cross correlation function.
  • the first sensor g 1 has a point-symmetrical output characteristic curve. It is further preferred that the second sensor g 2 has an output characteristic curve which is symmetrical in respect to its sensor center axis.
  • the second sensor g 2 has an output characteristic curve that displays a balanced output.
  • the first sensor g 1 may have an output characteristic curve of the first sensor g 1 displays a balanced output.
  • the first sensor g 1 and the second sensor g 2 preferably have output characteristic curves such that by shifting one of the sensors by a predetermined amount equal to the effective distance L between the center axes of the first sensor and the second sensor in the direction toward the other sensor, the respective sensor output characteristic curves are periodic functions having a phase difference of 90°.
  • the behavior of the sensor output characteristic curves as periodic functions with a phase difference of 90° provides a sensor correlation function with periodic behavior resulting therefrom which is point-symmetrical in relation to the adjustment point.
  • the sensors g 1 , g 2 preferably have output characteristic curves having a square waveform. It is not difficult to obtain sensors having sensor output characteristic curves with a square waveform by means of a diode-based circuit. This also results in sensor correlation functions with a linear path between two respectively adjoining extreme points, but at least between the intersection points with the abscissa, or zero value points, and the adjoining extreme, or maximum value points. This further simplifies the evaluation.
  • a third sensor g 3 having an output characteristic curve similar to that of the second sensor g 2 is disposed within said device such that its effective sensor center axis is coincident with the effective center axis of the first sensor g 1 .
  • a summation circuit is provided for determining a difference between a second sensor signal S 2 and a third sensor signal S 3 , and for forming a difference signal which is used with a first sensor signal for forming the cross-correlation function used as the controller input signal.
  • first sensor g 1 and second sensors g 2 may be arranged such that a distance L between said first sensor g 1 center axis and said second sensor g 2 center axis is such that a maximum value of the sensor correlation function R g1g2 , which adjoins the intersection of the sensor correlation function R g1g2 derived from the product of the sensor output characteristic curves with the abscissa, lies on the ordinate.
  • a signal emitter g 4 may be provided which transmits velocity signals s 4 which are approximately proportional to the yarn velocity, that the signals s 4 of the signal emitter g 4 can be provided to the transit time correlator for range preselection for the lock-on of the control loop circuit on the real intersection of the cross-correlation function ⁇ ( ⁇ ) with the abscissa.
  • a further possibility of preventing the transit time correlator from locking on to a false minimum value of the cross-correlation function ⁇ ( ⁇ ), even with greater velocity fluctuation, consists in using the additional signal emitter g 4 , by means of which the controller is provided with a range preselection for the range in which the adjustment point is located.

  • FIGS. 2a to e illustrate the associated sensors with the wiring of the diode circuits
  • FIG. 3a illustrates the sensor output characteristic curves of sensors g 1 to g 3 ;
  • FIG. 3b represents a block wiring diagram for a transit time correlator for utilization of the signals s 1 (t) to s 3 (1) generated by the sensors g 1 to g 3 in accordance with FIG. 3a;
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a block wiring diagram for a transit time correlator with an additional sensor g 4 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a graphic representation of cross-correlation functions depending on the texture of the yarn.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1e examples of sensor output characteristic curves with the associated sensor correlation function R g1g2 are illustrated graphically.
  • FIG. 1a A particularly simple example is shown in FIG. 1a.
  • the sensors g 1 and g 2 can be made by appropriately wiring first and second photodiodes illustrated respectively at 1 and 2, in a manner as can be seen in the associated FIG. 2a.
  • the signal s 2 (t) of the sensor g 2 is directly derived from the first photodiode 1 output signal, with the first photodiode 1 disposed upstream in relation to the yarn running direction. It should be presumed that the yarn travel direction is from left to right with respect to the figures. This standard will hold true throughout the following discussion.
  • the signal s 1 (t) of the sensor g 1 is formed by means of an summation circuit 3, wherein a negative signal coming from the first photodiode 1 is combined with a positive signal coming from the second photodiode 2.
  • the designation b/2 represents a reference value for the width of a photodiode.
  • the sensor correlation function R g1g2 is formed from the product of the output characteristic curves of the sensors g 1 and g 2 .
  • the distance between the sensors is defined as the distance of the effective sensor center axes.
  • the effective sensor center axis of the sensor g 2 lies in the center of the first photodiode 1, while the effective sensor center axis of the sensor g 1 lies at the separation line between the photodiodes 1 and 2.
  • the distance L is therefore equal to 1/2 (b/2) or b/4.
  • the position of this intersection point coincides with the intersection of the sensor output characteristic curve of the sensor g 1 .
  • the minimum value of the sensor cross-correlation function is coincident with the instantaneous zero value of the sensor output characteristic curve.
  • the sensor must consist of two signal receivers, in this case the photodiodes 1 and 2, disposed one behind the other in the running direction of the yarn.
  • the effective sensor center axes form the basis for the definition of the distance of the sensors from each other, which on the one hand is based on the calculation of the model delay time ⁇ as well as the velocity, the intersection point of the sensor output characteristic curve of the sensor g 1 with the abscissa, or when the output value goes through zero, in the effective sensor center axis is a prerequisite for the intersection of the sensor correlation function R g1g2 , as well as the cross-correlation function ⁇ ( ⁇ ), with the abscissa, indicating minimum values for both functions. In this manner, this intersection can be used directly, i.e. without any prior differentiation, for determining the adjustment point for the model delay time ( ⁇ ).
  • the sensor correlation function R g1g2 or the cross-correlation function ⁇ ( ⁇ ) also behave point-symmetrically. This is a prerequisite for the suppression of systematic errors based on the surface quality of the yarn when determining the adjustment point.
  • FIG. 1b A variant of FIG. 1a is represented in FIG. 1b which differs from the first variant in that the distance L has been increased from the value illustrated in FIG. 1a.
  • an additional expenditure is associated with this because three photodiodes 4,5,6 must be employed.
  • the sensor output characteristic curve of the sensor g 2 also has a characteristic curve having a balanced output. This is achieved using amplifiers 12,21, which double the signal strength, as can be seen in FIGS. 2c and 2d. The result of this is that the sensor signal from the sensor g 2 s 2 (t) is also free of mean values. Because of that it is possible to omit a high-pass filter in the signal path which would have to be used particularly if the signal should be clipped prior to further processing.
  • a sensor correlation function which is broader than those discussed with the previous examples results in connection with the embodiment represented in FIG. 1e and 2e. While a narrower sensor correlation function R g1g2 is more advantageous in regard to the scattering of the estimated transit time data, the collecting range of the adjustment point is greater, which has advantages in regard to the stability of the control loop circuit.
  • a broad sensor correlation function is of particular advantage if the velocity greatly fluctuates during the time of measuring and if the mean velocity is of interest.
  • the sensor output characteristic curves of the sensors g 1 and g 2 of FIG. 1e using the diode circuit of the photodiodes 22,23,24,25,26,27,28 of FIG. 2e.
  • the photodiode 25 is used for both sensors g 1 and g 2 .
  • the distance L is also possible to select the distance L to be equal to b/2, in which case only five photodiodes would be required for the diode circuit, of which the four photodiodes located downstream in the running direction of the yarn would be respectively used in an analog manner for both sensors g 1 and g 2 .
  • the sensor signals s 1 and s 2 here are also free of mean values due to the amplified outputs of the sensor output characteristic curves.
  • FIG. 3a Another embodiment of the present invention is represented in FIG. 3a by means of the sensor output characteristic curves of sensors g 1 to g 3 .
  • FIG. 3b illustrates the associated block wiring diagram for an associated transit time correlator circuit.
  • the third sensor g 3 is disposed in a manner wherein its output characteristic curve agrees with that of the second sensor g 2 and sensor g 3 is nonetheless arranged in a manner wherein its effective sensor center axis coincides with that of the first sensor g 1 . In this manner, the output characteristic curve of the sensor g 3 is displaced by an amount L in respect to the output characteristic curve of the sensor g 2 .
  • the output signal ⁇ of the integrator 34 acting as a feedback integrator is therefore also equal to zero. In this way and with constant velocity, the delay time ⁇ is not unnecessarily adjusted in a delay circuit 31.
  • the controller output signal ⁇ is also transmitted to a dividing element 35, whereby the value for ⁇ , by which the constant value L is divided, is also readjusted there, if necessary.
  • the respective instantaneous value of the velocity is present at the output of the dividing element 35.
  • FIG. 4 An additional embodiment of the present invention is illustrated with a block wiring diagram in FIG. 4.
  • a sensor g 4 is employed which generates an output signal sequence s 4 (t).
  • the sensor g 4 is essentially a pulse sensor 40, by means of which pulses are received from a drive drum 41 for a bobbin 43.
  • the drive drum 41 can have a field spider to which stationary Hall sensors are assigned. Thereby, a number of pulses corresponding to the number of poles of the field spider are generated during a revolution of the drive drum 41.
  • This signal sequence s 4 (t) is counted in a counter 44.
  • the time-dependent counting results are then issued to a digital range comparator 45 which is supplied with the controller output signal ⁇ from the output of the integrator 46.
  • the output of the range comparator 45 is connected with the integrator 46, in which a range preselection for the position of the adjustment point takes place. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the control loop circuit from locking on an intersection of the cross-correlation function ⁇ ( ⁇ ) with the abscissa, or minimum value thereof, which does not correspond to the sought adjustment point. It is possible to additionally supply this range comparator 45 with an offset entry capability, not shown here, by means of which the width of the range can be set.
  • the signal of the sensor g 4 is not very exact due to the slippage between the drive drum 41 and the bobbin 43, it is sufficient for a range preselection for the integrator of the transit time correlator. In this manner, the correct adjustment point is immediately found with practically no increase in computing capacity requirements, even at higher velocity changes.
  • the analog signals s 2 and s 1 are digitized by triggers 36 and 38, and are quantized to one bit.
  • the computing outlay is small, so that an 8-bit micro-controller is sufficient for adjusting the pattern transit time ⁇ .
  • the integrator 46, the range comparator 45, the delay member 37 and the multiplier 39 have been replaced by digital components.
  • the delay member 37 can be replaced by a shift register, while the multiplier 39 is a phase detector.
  • a dividing element 47 and a further integrator 48 are also digital.
  • the yarn length wound on the bobbin tube is cumulatively determined in the integrator 48 on the basis of the velocity and the winding time. In this way it is possible to determine the yarn length wound on the bobbins with heretofore unrealized accuracy.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a plot of cross-correlation functions generated in accordance with the sensor output characteristic curves and sensor arrangements according to the present invention. It can be seen here that the slope of the cross-correlation function changes with the bandwidth of the texture of the yarn (critical frequency f 1 ⁇ f 2 ⁇ f 3 ). This dependence of the slope of the cross-correlation function, however, is considerably less than with the transit time correlation using the differentiated correlation function. This has very positive effects on the stability of the control loop circuit in respect to variable textures, because the changes of the slope of the cross-correlation function directly result in a proportional change of the loop amplification of the adjustment control loop circuit.
